About Arcadia
Arcadia cultivates vibrant local food systems that prioritize health, equity, and sustainability from the farm forward
Our History
Established in 2010, Arcadia’s mission is to cultivate vibrant local food systems that prioritize health, equity, and sustainability from our farm forward.
We work to improve public health through equitable access to better food, increase the viability of local farmers, and preserve the environment for future generations.
Arcadia Farm is located on the historic grounds of Woodlawn Estate in Alexandria, Virginia, thanks to a landmark partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the support and vision of Arcadia’s Founder and Chairman, Michael Babin.
